Rooibos & Ramblings

  • Tabo Joy Muleba

I first got this idea through what I believe can only be divine intervention. I've always had a God-given talent for writing and God told me to seize the opportunity and start something that would glorify Him and also reach others in a positive way which is all I've ever wanted to do. After graduating in 2018 I was at a loss for what to do next, I interned at a law firm during the summer which seemed like the next natural step after my degree but I was unsatisfied. I was forced to be still and evaluate things which for a self-confessed control freak, was torture but ultimately I learnt that it’s okay to just be still sometimes and take things in, you actually learn a lot more during your still moments. I also learnt that my stomach is a bottomless pit that demands shrimp, olives and Camembert at all times but I digress. After such a hectic year, falling in and out of love, falling in love with myself and recognising the gifts I possess could help people, which is all I’ve ever wanted to do. But more than anything, 2018 taught me to take leaps of faith at every given opportunity that God provides and to learn to look for those little omens and signs He leaves for you. I guess what I’m trying to say is, however shitty this year was, it all lead me to this moment and all the moments to come. The future is bright but not linear and I’m learning to make my peace with that. But if I’m able to help even one person by sharing my experiences then I’ll be content. I will be sharing personal stories but this is not a gossip column so names will be changed as this is purely for educational purposes. Please note that I don’t purport to know any more than anyone else but this is also an outlet for me, when things seem so big in your head it’s therapeutic to see them on a page and gain some perspective. So without further ado, welcome to Rooibos and Ramblings. (Coming soon)
